LOSAL AIT Alto.
A Huge Soctat.-A grand entertain
ment was given Tuesday evening in
the upper hall of Ravenscraft;s Opera
House by the Young Folks Pleasure
Circle" OF the 100 persons invited
over 80 attended, an exceedingly large
turnout for an affair conceived and
worked up within a week. The COM
mittee of arrangements were Messrs.
c. Eugene Grahame, Charles G.. Wright
and John D. Hooking. By general
consent, however, the great success of
the occasion is due mainly to the con-
slant labor of Mr.. Grahame. Before
and during the affair he sought un-
remittingly the enjoyment of all.
Hence, society and guests owe him
thanks without limit.
The grand opening promenade be-
gan about 10 o'clock with 80 couples
in line. The spacious, brilliantly
lighted hall never presented scene
more animated. The bright, tasteful
costumes of the ladies, the faultless
attire of the gentlemen, the measured
step and rhythmic sway of the pro-
cession in harmony with the inspiring
music, developed display of Frost
burg beauty and chivalry pleasurably
surprising to even those who dwell
among us.
The promenade was succeeded by
waltz, polka, quadrille, etc., until
1890, when refreshments were served.
These comprised all the delicacies of
the season and were thoroughly enjoy
ed. Right here the JOURNAL, which
is always an individual where icecream,
cake, ct ID 0mne genus, are under dis
cussion, returns thanks to the commit
tee and several precious ladies for most
